    Can external apps post to myspace offline?

    Hi,

    I am trying to build an app that would relay one's twitter posts to his/her activity stream. The user will normally post via twitter web site, but the tweets should get relayed to myspace activity stream. The relaying work is done by an external server. Here is the work flow I have in mind:

    1. The user adds the application from the app directory
    2. He is directed to a form which collects details and asks him
    to allow this external server to post to the activity stream
    3. Lets say he chooses 'Yes' and submits. That is the end of the users
    interaction with this application.

    The rest of the work is to be done by the external server. This server
    is like a middle man. Actually the user posts to another site. The
    external service polls to see if the user has posted anything new. If
    yes, it should relay that information to that user's activity stream.

    I know there is considerable amount of oauth-stuff happening in between. But I don't know how to write that part and at which point to write it. A little advice on "where" oauth should come in, and some code samples would be great (both on the client & server end).

    Thanx in advance.

    Activity stream posting isn't quite ready yet, but in the meantime, you can post status updates.  The REST endpoint is:

    But we highly recommend that you use one of our SDK's:

    Good luck!
